The 1st NGLS Invitational is fast approaching, and details are being finalized for next weekend’s event. We will need to treat this like a public run day where we cut the grass, lubricate switches, clean debris off track, and more. Here are some additional details about the event for both NGLS members and invited guests.

Time and date:

When: Friday, June 19 - Sunday, June 21st

Some guests may start arriving around mid-day on Friday and those that are staying overnight probably will leave sometime on Sunday. The expectation is however the majority of those attending will be on Saturday.

Accommodations:

On site we have limited room for self-contained campers, there is a full campsite at the horse park down the road about a mile and there is the Hawthorn Suites directly across the street from the club site.

Saturday Lunch:

We are still checking into being able to provide a meal on Saturday around noon and will let you know if this is possible as soon as we know.

Visiting Trains:

All trains are welcome but for steam engines an on-site hydro-static test will be REQUIRED. The test will be performed by club with no state official present. There is no cost for the test, it will be performed and documented same as we do for our own equipment and you will get a copy of the inspection certificate which is valid the duration of the meet.

Please let us know if you plan on attending the invitational
